Jermaine Dupri Sets the Record Straight on Those Janet Jackson Dating Rumors
Jermaine Dupri is speaking out to clarify rumors that he and Janet Jackson have rekindled their romance in the wake of her split from Wissam Al Mana.
He says that while they’re still friends, they aren’t dating.
via ET:
“I never knew us not to be friends. These stories are just all over the place,” Dupri shared. “I never knew us not to be friends. People keep making up these stories.”
Dating rumors began after Jackson, 51, was spotted having dinner the producer at STK Atlanta in December and, according to an eyewitness, they were “cuddled” up to one another and holding hands in the VIP area.
A source close to Jackson told ET at the time that their relationship is strictly platonic and it’s only natural that she would reconnect with him in his hometown.
Dupri also shared with ET that he “spoke to Janet one time before she got on tour” and that he doesn’t know much “about how she’s dealing with being a mom.”
As far as Jackson’s participation in the upcoming Super Bowl with Justin Timberlake, Dupri says she’ll “probably not” be involved.
Do you think Janet and Jermaine should give love another try?

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.
The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.
Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
